Yesterday was moving day. My brother came over with a pick up truck and my niece and nephew and helped Sweetie move in. Not all the way, just the big stuff. A lot of the little stuff has already been moved, and the rest we still have a couple of weeks to get over. But now, the furniture is all here - and my appartment is now very cozy.
I got to "take the day off" and watch my niece and nephew while Brother and Sweetie moved large things. I'm tired, but at least now I know that I still don't want kids. Don't get me wrong, I love the little ones, and they were well behaved. They were just typical kids - into everything and always running. Anything that wasn't specifically banned was fair game. I had to lock the cat in the closet for his own protection - same for the dog in the kennel.
On the bright side, they do provide some wonderful stories. For example I asked them what they wanted for lunch. Niece said "hot dogs" and Nephew said "mac and cheese"(at least that's the translation I came up with). So I made Mac and cheese with hotdogs and they clapped their hands and jumped up and down when I served it, but they each only ate half of it. Niece ate the mac and cheese and Nephew ate the hotdogs (then fed Nieces hotdog to the dog - for which the dog was very grateful). I had to laugh.
